Ann Sanford

Ann Sanford


Secretary

Ann Sanford grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, with eight brothers and one sister.   Ann attended UWS  majoring in elementary education with a minor in early childhood development. She met her husband, Paul, on a blind date in 1992, and shortly after their marriage, she joined her local Alliance and has been a member since.

Ann has a part-time job as an assistant to the business manager in her Parish office, which fits perfectly with her volunteering on the membership council for the AMA Alliance and as the secretary for AHEI.  This is Ann’s second year as secretary.
